Should I be adding stabilizer
My 03 f250 has 25k miles and now I find myself with new employment that has me riding a bike to work. I sold my boat and the previous job had me driving about 700 miles a week. I’m using the truck about 30 miles a week, that’s a high mileage week. My question is should I be adding stabilizer to the diesel? and what kind?
Thanks in advance

IMO yes, either Stanadyne Performance Formula or Power Systems. You can get the Stanadyne off the net or get the PS at Wallmart. Your fuel injectors will thank you.

If it takes you a while to go through a tank of fuel you might consider adding biocide.

A lot of people also seem to like Diesel Kleen. It's widely available at auto parts stores. I've used it several times when I've run out of Stanadyne.

No problem, I understand. For me it's about the only place I can get some stuff affordably, or at all without mailordering it.
